Ashford Castle

Ashford Castle is an iconic five-star luxury hotel located in the woods of County Mayo, Ireland. The 800-year old, 35 bedroom estate dates back to 1228 and was once home to the Guinness family, who extensively expanded the estate before selling it in 1939. Restored and dramatically updated over the last few decades, Ashford Castle is now a world-class hotel and resort boasting some of the finest restaurants and amenities in Europe. From traditional Irish cuisine to award-winning afternoon tea, the dining options here are top-notch. Guests may also enjoy a variety of activities such as falconry workshops, archery, paintball, boat trips, and horseback riding. The beautiful Connemara National Park and crystal-clear Lake Corrib are also nearby. Ashford Castle is the perfect way to experience a real slice of Irish hospitality and luxury.

No trip to Ashford Castle would be complete without checking out the estate’s award-winning spa and leisure facilities, which includes a fitness centre, yoga classes and a thermal suite. A special highlight is the 18-hole championship golf course, which was voted as ‘Ireland’s Best Golf Resort’. From the castle’s lavish decor and service, to its outstanding facilities, guests will not be disappointed with their stay here.
